Abstract
By using a single formalism to handle charm, strange, and light valence quarks in full lattice QCD for the first time, we are able to determine ratios of quark masses to 1%. For m(c)/m(s) we obtain 11.85(16), an order of magnitude more precise than the current PDG average. Combined with 1% determinations of the charm quark mass now possible this gives m(s)(2 GeV)=92.4(1.5) MeV. The MILC result for m(s)/m(l)=27.2(3) yields m(l)(2 GeV)=3.40(7) MeV for the average of u and d quark masses.Entities:
